Pros

Market leader, opportunity to impact or influence in many roles, pay is decent

Cons

Still evolving from a privately owned to a public traded company, highly political, human resources have no idea what they are doing, very very bad travel policy for a company that has over 50% profit margins (all employees required to stay at Club Quarters)

Pros

You learn a lot about internal control procedures that are mandated by Regulatory compliance requirement. Changes to production systems are heavily scrutinized to ensure existing systems are not impacted negatively and are tested fully. Network, database, server and code and configuration changes are reviewed by production change committee. Be prepared to attend weekly change meting to justify changes to production systems.

Cons

If you work in Development team, you should expect to follow standard change management process, a single change to production code or config will mandate new change control ticket, no matter how minor the change is. A good developer usually will get burned out by convoluted change management steps that required. DBA, network (for firewall changes), production support all mandate their own change ticket before their team will execute any change to production systems. I have seen talented developer left because they get tired of all change control paperwork they had to submit.
